What Navajo County Groundwater Sampling Shows About Your Well Water
The U.S. Geological Survey's sampling of 14 wells in Navajo County's aquifer 220NAVJ found hardness (from calcium and magnesium) detected in all 40 results between 2010 and 2019. Concentrations ranged from 1.23 to 163.0 mg/L, with a median of 2.935 mg/L. None of these measurements exceeded federal regulatory thresholds.
Information to Collect Before Considering Treatment Solutions
Before exploring treatment options, write down the results of a current water test on your household well. This should include hardness levels, along with calcium and magnesium concentrations. Also note any visible signs such as mineral deposits or changes in water taste. Knowing your well depth and testing dates along with historic local data will assist in understanding your specific water quality.
Symptoms That May Indicate Total Well Water Issues and Those That Do Not
Signs like scale buildup in pipes or appliances, cloudy water, or unusual tastes can relate to total well water hardness. However, not all water concerns point to this issue; for instance, discoloration or odors could be caused by other factors. Careful identification of symptoms helps to clarify if total well water treatment is appropriate.
Interpreting Navajo County Data in Relation to Federal Standards
The range of hardness measured in the aquifer wells falls within federal regulatory levels, meaning these detections are typical for the area and not considered safety risks. These figures reflect the natural mineral content in groundwater, not violations of water quality standards.
Seasonal and Multi-Year Variations Reflected in the Sampling Record
Samples collected between 2010 and 2019 show that concentrations vary over time and depth, with wells sampled at depths from 554 to 3,737 feet. This demonstrates that natural fluctuations occur seasonally and across years within the aquifer.
Additional Questions for Commercial or Industrial Operators
While this information focuses on household water use, larger-scale users should consider additional queries about water volume, treatment capacity, and specialized contaminant testing that extend beyond household needs.
Understanding Terms: 'Detected', 'Median', and 'Range' in This Context
'Detected' means the presence of hardness was measured in all cases sampled but does not indicate a problem on its own. 'Median' represents the middle value of all the samples, providing a typical concentration, while 'range' shows the lowest and highest measurements recorded in the area. These terms help describe natural groundwater variations, not individual well conditions.
The U.S. Geological Survey's sampling covers a broad area aquifer in Navajo County, reflecting regional groundwater conditions. For specific household water results, well testing is necessary. More details can be found at the U.S. Geological Survey groundwater site for Navajo County aquifer 220NAVJ.

Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2019-08-23. These figures describe groundwater sampled in this area. They are not a test of any individual private well - only a test of that well can establish its own water.
